Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Mini Apple Pies
  1. Start by rolling out your homemade pie dough or store-bought crusts on a floured surface until it's about 1/8 inch thick.
  2. Gently press the circles into the mini pie pans, ensuring there’s no air trapped underneath.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine your finely chopped baking apples, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, kosher salt, and vanilla extract.
  4. After your filling is ready, remove the pie crusts from the fridge and fill each pie shell with the apple mixture.
  5. Roll out any remaining dough and cut it into strips to create a lattice design over the apple filling.
  6. Brush the lattice crust with a beaten egg and sprinkle coarse sugar over the top.
  7. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 35-40 minutes.
  8. Remove the mini apple pies from the oven and let them cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
